[Echocardiographic study of the left ventricle in chronic alcoholism].

Echocardiographyc has been used to study clinical signs of cardiopathy in 25 chronic alcoholics. Compared to normal control subjects, the alcoholics presented an increase in the left ventricular wall and an increase in the cross section and volume of the left myocardium. The left ventricular cavity was also increased. On the other hand, echocardiographic indices of myocardial contractility, represented by the ejection fraction, rate of circumferential shortening and rate of increase of the thickness of the left ventricular wall from telediastole to telesystole, were within normal limits.

[Functional respiratory and blood gas analytical studies of the effects of fenspiride, in oral and intramuscular administration, in chronic bronchopneumopathic subjects].

A group of 20 chronic bronchopneumopathics was treated for 15 days with fenspiride orally and i.m. The behaviour of a set of functional respiratory and haemogasanalytic parameters was monitored at various times (basic, 5th, 10th and 15th days). Progressive, significant improvements in VC, FEV1, RV and in related parameters were observed. These were attributed to the drug's anti-inflammatory effect in the respiratory ways as well as to its direct antibronchospastic action. Stress is laid on the excellent clinical tolerance of fenspiride following its oral and i.m. administration.

[Orthodontic treatment and prosthetic reconstruction in severe anodontia].

The authors describe a few cases of "real anodontia" treated with removable, removable-irremovable or fixed prosthesis in which a preprosthetic orthodontal treatment was needed. Various aspects of this are examined: indications, counter indications, treatment plan and coordination of orthodontics and prosthesis.

[Necessity of preparing the oral cavity for implantation].

The Author wanted to draw the attention of the person doing the setting, on the importance, in lasting prognosis, of the general conditions of the subject as well as of the situation of the oral cavity, which can present unfavourable elements to a setting. He is in fact referring to local original lesions or secondary lesions in pathologic states and he his stating the corrective intervention in order to prepare the month for the setting.

[Respiratory disease in foundry workers. An epidemiologic survey in three foundries (author's transl)].

The authors report the results of a survey performed in three cast iron foundries, with particular emphasis on the impairment of respiratory system in the involved workers. The results obtained showed a high prevalence of pneumoconiosis, which, as for roentgenologic and clinical features, appears to be different from usual silicotic pneumoconiosis. The highest prevalence of chronic bronchitis -- either associated or not with pneumoconiosis -- in the foundry workers examined is stressed, as well as the prevalence of squamous metaplasia of the bronchial epithelium. An important role in this aspect is supposed to be played not only by dusts, but even by tobacco smoke in favouring the onset of the above mentioned alterations is also confirmed.

[Histologic patterns of liver damage in chronic poisoning from tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (author's transl)].

Six subjects, affected with TOCP polyneuritis, were submitted to liver biopsy by means of Menghini's technique. By means of both optic and electron microscopy, histologic and ultrastructural findings of liver damage were evaluated, whose genesis is believed to be due to the toxic effect of TOCP. The hepatocytes showed changes, mainly represented by cloud-vacuolar swelling of the cytoplasm, with abnormalities of nuclear membrane and lipofuscin pigment accumulation. The above mentioned patterns were found in all the examined needle biopsies, which possibly account for their toxic nature.
